  • OLIGOMERIC PRODUCTS OF POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE (PET) AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME
    Publication number: 20120149791
    Abstract: The presently disclosed and claimed inventive concept(s) relates generally to the method of producing a resin replacement compound, the resin replacement compound itself, and the use of the resin replacement compound. More particularly, but not to be construed as limiting, the presently disclosed and claimed inventive concept(s) relate to the recovery of an oligomeric form of polyethylene terephthalic acid from waste polyethylene terephthalate. In one particular aspect, the presently disclosed and claimed inventive concept(s) relate to the recovery of an oligomeric form of polyethylene terephthalic acid from waste products, such as beverage containers, made from polyethylene terephthalate. In an additional aspect, the presently disclosed and claimed inventive concept(s) relate to the use of a recovered oligomeric form of polyethylene terephthalic acid in a toner composition.
